“Corrective Rape” against lesbians in South Africa

This is just so hideous! How can people believe this (quoted from news report)

“By raping you and giving you a penis, I will correct you so you understand your role as a woman,”

South Africa has a highly liberal constitution but more work needs to be done in educating people as to what this means to them. It also becomes difficult when (mostly men) accuse one of attacking their African culture and imposing westernisation on them, even when their culture is encouraging treating women as second rate citizens.

We had a case a while back where a woman was assaulted (including sexually) at a taxi rank for wearing a miniskirt.

Both of these things resulted in massive protests, but it’s not something the local media really covered.
